If Florida coach Billy Donovan wants to get his players' attention about not taking 11th-seeded Dayton for granted Saturday in the Elite Eight, there's some astonishing statistical evidence to support that argument.

When the Gators meet Dayton at Memphis' FedEx Forum with a Final Four berth at stake, they'll actually have to reverse an NCAA tournament trend to get to Dallas.

In five previous meetings between a No. 1 seed and a No. 11, which has only happened in a regional final, the No. 11 seed has won three of those meetings.
